deck dealt to man / terror in the skies from grouchy seat-mate

6:50 AM - back home!!!! Last night was easily the most tired I have ever been in my life. My whole body and face felt weighted down by gravity. I did manage to drink 1 Guiness to celebrate St. Patricks Day. Also I can still say that I was in Dublin for St. Patrick's Day which is true - I was there from midnight to 8:00 AM.

The trip back was rough:

bus to Dublin airport
fly from Dublin to London Gatwick
bus from London Gatwick to Londond Heathrow
fly from London to Vancouver
taxi home from airport

I was "just in time" during the whole ordeal of getting from Dublin to London Heathrow.

Last night Felicia and Adam gave me a pleasant surprist by showing up at the airport. As soon as Adam saw me he gave a HUGE smile and literally jumped out of Felicia's arms into mine - one of the greatest moments of my life.

side-story - some people are just grouchy. As I was putting my stuff up in the London-Vancouver flight the lady I was going to sit next to was just glaring at me from behind. I got in my seat and then noticed I had forgotten my ipod in my jacket. She was now getting her stuff in - i noticed my jacket sleeve was hanging out. I sort of reache dunder and got my ipod. I then asked if she could put my jacket back. She snapped - "I didn't touch your jacket!". I said I just asked you if you could do it as a courtesy. She said no problem, she thought that i thought she had knocked my jacket out.

so started my trip. i promptly kept me headphones in the next few hours so as to not engage in conversation w. her.

I am pretty adept at picking up on someone who is racist - it hasn't happened in years but i still know it when i see it.

today - work out, brunch w. fam, plan sermon and service for tomorrow night.

Go to church

We are several months out of even the most limited pandemic restrictions. I cannot remember the last time I wore a mask. When I see someone wearing a mask, it feels nostalgic - a reminder of a strange time when that person was the norm and I - the unmasked one would look strange. Despite the fact that we can break the 6-foot barrier and admire the lower halves of other's faces - I have been surprised at the number of Christians I meet who are just NOW starting to return to live worship services. I understand the lure of the live stream worship experience while sitting at home on the couch - worshipping in sweats and hot coffee in my mug - much more appealing than a hard couch and no coffee. I've also met believers boldly walking away from regular church attendance and proclaiming they can worship God anywhere - including the pickleball court. Nature is my sanctuary. "God’s Spirit and gift of salvation are not defined by church walls. But without an embodied community of be

Coaster goes up (a little)

Unused photo from the Globe and Mail shoot. So, last night and all day today I was on the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Vancouver. Quite auspicious surroundings for church council/pastors meetings! there were stunning views of the North Shore mountains, Stanley Park and the downtown buildings. The meetings were lengthy, exhausting and a lot of work. Basically, FBC has been on a year long journey of crafting its vision statement and core values - we did it with the assistance of a coach from Outreach Canada. We are coming down the home stretch and needed to hammer out everything for presentation to the congregation. Today was the first day that I have begun to feel lighter and ready to resume the work. Although still feeling wounded from this whole mess, I'm ready to limp on. It's true: Sunday,Monday - elation at finally reaching a goal of holding a first@night service in a trendy nightclub - excitement at getting press coverage - even thoug

Where the Light Falls

Image
I've read two books by Augustine - City of God and Confessions. I think I've read his confessions 3 times. I like him because he is a good writer, has lots of self-insight, and loves God passionately. He was very honest about his pre-Christian life. At one point he makes this observation: "I had my back toward the light, and my face toward the things on which the light falls." Most people have their back to the light - and they focus where his light falls. Where the light falls refers to God's common grace. God does not keep good things only for those who follow him. Because he is good he distributes his blessings and grace widely. Where the light falls are places of grace: art, music, beauty, sunshine, loving relationships, a baby's smile. But - these things are not the light - to enjoy and encounter the light, we must turn around and follow the rays of light back to the source. What is the source of beauty, love, and truth? Jesus said he is the light of the
